No Facilities to Produce Armor Plate III
this Country.


WASHINGTON, ID. O., February IL
The Philadelphia Press of this morning,
reviewing the new Navy Department steel
ordnance and armOr plate circular, says
that it will be unsatisfactory to American
manufacturers, because the requirement.
for the material are so high that it cannot
he produced at present in this country. II
goes on to say
at is possible to produce the character
istics it requires, because it is not materi'
ally different from the steel armOr fur
nished by the CrCuZOt works to the Italian
Government. 1t is of higher grade, how
ever, than that imposed on the English
manufacturers compressed armor, and, a.
matter of fact, higher than was ever i'm
posed on any manufacturer except the one
who filled it, 1t is predicated upon the
| highest armOr tests ever formulated, and
so far as present facilities 30, the Snyder,
at CreuzOt are the only workers in the
world that could produce it.
Manufacturers who have watched Navy
! Department contracts for the past few year:
are well aware that the CreuZOt works
! through their agent, Lieutenant Barber, o
the United States Navy, are practical bid
| ders for American work. Under the term!
of the present advertisement giving The
contracts only to American establishments
| it would have been impossible for them Il
obtain it, but a scheme, which is well un
derStOOd among few of the authorize:
at the Department, explains not only
how il can be done, but preSumptively
why the requirements were raised over the
heads OF American producers TO the CreuzO
! standard Lieutenant Barber, it appear
| from those who understand the scheme
has not only been the active selling agen
of the Suyders, but has been the ccntra
figure in IN effort to bring a portion O
their works to this country, to make tn,
naval materials in connection with the his
Carnegie works at Pittshurg
THE Carnegies, so the alleged arrange
ment runs, are to contribute their stand
inc as American manufacturers and Il
furnish the ground and the necessary
buildings. The Snyders are to furnisl
the valuable machinery of the plant and {
sufficient force of skilled workmen from
their own establishment to make the nu
cleus OF the organization. The Who'll,
scheme, in 4 word, is to transplant {
branch of tho great steel industry o
Creuzot to the United States and to do
mesticate it as an American industry.
"An essential part Of the arrangements
it is said, is material guarantee by Snyder
that the work will be done up to the re
uuirements and that no loss will arise from
the failure to fulfill the mechanical part o
the contracts. lie insures the plates anC

TEXAS ELECTION OUTRAGES.
Ex-Governor Ireland's Version of the
Washington County ARRAY.

Ex-Governor IreIand's Version of the
Washington County ARRAY.
SIS LOUIS, February l4.-Ex- Governor
Ireland, of Texas, accompanied by twenty
eight citizens of Washington county, Texas,
passed through this city yesterday on his
way to Washington, ID. c., where he and
his companions will appear before the
Senate Committee which will investigate
the charges of election outrages made
against the citizens of Washington county
by those Republicans who fled the country
for fear of being lynched, and who
claimed to have been driven out by the
Democrats. Ex-Governor Ireland says
that at the close of the election in
Washington county, Devices Bolton, the
son of candidate for County
Commissioner, rode up to the precinct, dis
mounted and demanded adnittance to the
polls. lie was told to come in and upon
opening the door was shot down i'll his
tracks by negro named Hill. Eight OF
the occupants of the room were arrested,
and three of them subsequently lynched.
The others fled to the country for fear OF
being similarly treated and brought the
charge against the Democrats of the county
that they were driven out.
The eX-Goverhor says: THE whole story
of those men is pure fabrication. Every
statement that they have made to show that
they were the objects of political perSecu-
ton is absolutely false, and that will be
easy to prove by all these witnesses. They
were not driven from the county, but left
| there of their free will and desire"

jects-Famine Prevailing.
ST. JOHNS, n. f., February lI.-Many
prominent business houses here are in
financial difficulties and commercial
crisis seems inevitable. News from the
northern parts of the island represents
things in a dcplOrable condition. The
government has already sent thousands Of
barrels of flour to keep the people from
starving, but the supply is altogether in
adequate. The most nOrtherly parts are
now frozen in, and it is impossible to send
supplies there in time to save the people.
1t was most pitiful to witness scenes at
many places ut which the cOasting steamer
Curlew stopped on her last trip north.
Scorces of people who had had nothing but
goldfish and hard tack land very little OF
that to subsist upon for months, dragged
themselves across twenty tO twenty-five
miles OF barren rocks and wild wastes TO
where the steamer stopped They came In
hopes of getting supplies of ilour, mOlasses
and pork enough to keep body and soul to-
gether during the next three months. But
the steamer had no supplies for them and,
discouraged, they started to return to their
miserable homes to suffer all the pangS OF
hunger and exhaustion added to the rigorS
of a Newfoundland winter.
Meanwhile the Government has spent
such large sums in purchasing supplies and
in constructing the Placenta railway to
furnish labor, and 50 save people of those
districts from starvation, that the treasury
is depleted. Added to this is the fact that
Newfoundland fish is a glut on every mar
ket, owing to the inability to compete with
that of their bOunty-fed French rivals. 1t
is truly said that the island presents to the
world the most mOurnful spectacle and its
people are the most miserable Ofall English
colonists. Compared with them, the people
of Ireland are happy, contented and pres
porous.

The Winter Crop Liable to Damage from

CHICAGO February l4.-The following
summary is printed in this weeks issue OF
the Farmers Rcriclc:
The reports rs to the condition of win
ter wheat continue to he generally of a
favorable character, with the exception of
those from Kansas, where in n majority OF
the counties the outlook is regarded rs
poor. The latest reports were all made
prior To the cold wave of Friday night, and
the resulting damage to exposed fields, il
any, has not yet been fully disclosed. The
reports from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
state that the plant is looking green and
tender but that broad areas are entirely eX-
posed, and indicating that the crop would be
subjected to q certain amount Ofperil IN the
event OF freezing weather. In Adams,
Crawford, Johnson, Richland and White
counties, of Illinois, the fields are covered
with ice and the crop is looking poorly. In
Brown, Christian, Clay, Coles, Etlingham,
Fulton, Greene, Hancock, Madison, Pu-
laski, Richland, Stephenson, Wabash,
Wayne and WOOdtOrd counties, the fields
generally are bare, but the wheat is look
ing WELL In seventeen Indiana counties,
the reports show bare fields, but fair
growth and no injury. In Michigan and
Wisconsin, the fields are well protected,
and the outlook is regarded rs very favor
able In Cherokee, Clay, Ellis, Jefferson,
Lyon and Pawnee counties Of Kansas, the
prospects are very poor. In many in
stances the plants are just alive, and the
fields are generally exposed and bare. In
Rush, Crawford, DOniphan, Lincoln, Mi
ami and Nemaha counties of Kansas, the
prospects of the crop are regarded as fairly
good"
